Swedish,

I have a tendency to agree with your question as to "why it has to be either or?" I know that science proves so many things like even the aging of things. There are so many things that we don't KNOW about creation.....even as the the actual length of the day in the 7 days of creation? How do we know that God hasn't used evolution to develop the world as it is today? Evolution is a normal part of life.....we all evolve from the day we are born......so I don't see that there is anything that science points out that is against Christianity.....it may just be an explaination of how God did actually create the world & the universe.

However, these things aren't what I feel are the basis of Christianity......the basis of Christianity is the belief that Christ is the son of God who died for our sins. I believe that my belief in that & not the details of how the world was created is what maked me a Christian.

How funny that you have said the Lutherans in Sweden believe this way.....because I am also Lutheran here in the US.

Thanks for your post......It too believe that science has a place in religion.
